one of those days where i did not get out of bed til way way way past the point where i should have gotten out of bed

recent sell, this was a cool one.

alright, it’s finally at a point i’m happy with. Total cost was about $8 for the replacement caps and about 10-12 hours of tinkering/calibrating/service menu adjusting… i’m very proud of this one!

@johnnyama.bsky.social thank you so much for drawing my original characters. I truly appreciate it. The artwork is highly evocative and really sparks the imagination.

I have one really strong opinion on a very polarizing topic that I don’t feel bad for having but I know would not go down well if I posted about it. Also It’s not political in any way. Can anyone take a guess as to what my hottest most thermo-nuclear take is?

Behold: The Magnavox Broke-itron. Truly The CRT of all time. I bought it for $5 because of the VCR, and it’s the only thing that doesn’t work. But it did come with a free Samurai Warriors DVD, so that’s cool. Just look at that AWESOME selection of I.O. this beast is rocking!

i tried really hard to work my way through Mother 1 but i feel like playing 2 first just kinda spoiled it for me cause it feels like a much more antiquated version of mostly the same general plot/themes

today’s mood

ok i did it :]

if only i could have a private account on here. idk, maybe ill make a moots/close friends only personal in the future, but i miss having relative freedom to share more personal day to day stuff

happy near year

not liking how twitter-like my replies have been lately. i’ll post something about a topic solely with the intent of engaging with my immediate mutuals and then a bunch of random strangers start replying. stop!

Zillow is so funny because you’ll see an idyllic and professionally staged home for a good price and then you punch the address into street view and you’re just like “…oh.”

I was thinking of buying this receiver off Facebook but it sold while I was drawing

i feel like it would be liberating to not give a shit about cars. like imagine how many cool and affordable places i could live in if i didn’t 100% require a garage for my cars. why do i even have more than 1 car? silly ass hobby

smores + friends + kirby’s dream course = good weekend

After 3 weeks, I’ve finished earthbound. It has instantly become one of my favorite games i’ve ever played, and Its really easy to see how it has managed to proliferate itself as one of the most influential video games of all time. in my opinion, this is a mandatory play, seriously!

TAKOYAKI weekend🍺！

little Twingo guy

merry christmas!

it’s been a month since i really started deep diving into the mother series and i have never been so instantly hooked on a game as i have mother 2. just an infinitely charming piece of media by all measures, i recommend it to anyone

i love the choice of placement for this CRT at the thrift store

sorry i don’t post selfies anymore cuz i got scurred bc i got a lot of lurk notifications of people digging like a year back through my media tab on here just to see what i look like

sein’s brother in frieren is so…. wow…

this has been the toughest set i’ve ever tried to dial-in, but I kinda expected that because these Slimfit tubes are notoriously hard to calibrate. Made major progress on it today though, full analog board recap + reseated yoke and re-adhered yoke wedges. just needs that pincushion adjusted…

I was just thinking I needed another project and then the CRT distribution system delivered! Thank you to whatever fool irresponsibly disposed of this absolute unit of a 16:9 HDMI CRT. time to get it dialed in

thinking about shed style houses… want one so bad…..

i have started using expensive shampoos and conditioners as my hair gets longer as a means of counteracting what i refer to as my freshly washed hair “going triangular”. pic for reference

everyone follow keke he draws good and likes good cool things and is good and cool

@kekekeball.bsky.social wouldn’t post this so i will for him

“hey pal” and “oh gee whiz thanks pal” in a midwestern accent have been persistent verbal stims of mine for over a year and they seem to have materialized out of thin air.

what’s with all the clippy pfp’s i see everywhere lately, can someone explain this to me. i am confused

i love fixing things

Why is everyone addicted to gambling, wtf. Adverts for any type of gambling should just be banned everywhere. That includes sports betting, prediction markets, cryptocurrency, trading individual stocks, and gacha games.

currently zillowmaxxing. i love whatever kind of vibe this is, loft above the master bathroom clearly missing its ladder? intricate ceilings? unpainted wood trimwork? so eclectic, ugly.. yet it looks weirdly cozy. what even is this style home called? unrenovated 80’s dingey? late-century modest?

some art i did for my friend @dustyumbreon236.bsky.social ! :]

i always find it funny that in the old tech world the craziest listing prices are always matched with the dirtiest most disgusting items + worst pictures/descriptions. Maximum grifting goes hand-in-hand with lowest effort. tsk tsk.

Got new wheels for the daily :]

Feeling a really strong urge to simplify as much as possible and sell a lot of my stuff, but it really does turn into a much more daunting task when you actually take inventory... Collecting is a slippery slope.

being an adult with a full-time job and several cars and a house to maintain on my own generally leaves me with a lot less free time than i’d like, which definitely sucks. However! it’s a reason to really dedicate myself to specific games and media and think hard about how i spend my down-time.

Finally finished Majoras Mask, definitely full of flaws + frustration but its charm is just unbelievably good at keeping you coming back. I’ll cherish the lazy afternoons I spent this year playing this one :]

youtu.be/BegfkKAg3t4?... new vid is done :]

i always wonder what my neighbors must think when they see this just chilling in my lawn for an entire weekend
